Most of what I have put on this site would not have existed if it were not for Steve Jobs visions and Apple.

I didn’t use any Mac prior to early 90’s but that Macintosh LC my father bought opened my eyes. Then I had to step into the dark world until 2003 when I bought my first own Mac, an iBook G4 800. Which I still own and write code on

Today I handle most of my support here from my iPhone, a truly revolutionary mobile phone. My son, at the age of 2, could easily handle this device and start the games he enjoyed. Had it been an ”ordinary” mobile phone I dare say that he would not have been able to do that.

So Apple, and Steve, sure has given us a lot of great products. And I’m sure Apple will continue to do so without him. But there will not be the same RDF anymore.

[lang_en]Got a tip today in the RealMac Softwares forum about an alternative way to write in your blog using a Firefox extension called ScribeFire. Since i’m curious by nature it had to be tested so this post is written with ScribeFire. It actually looks like a tool I can like and use. It’s just a pity that it isn’t an extension to Safari because I have actually started to prefer that browser over Firefox, which has always been my favourite but with time I think it has started to become more and more ”bloatware” with increasing memoryfootprint.

But enough about Firefox, this is about ScribeFire I’m going to give it a few posts to see if I still like it. But so far it looks ”slick” and has just about what I need. If you haven’t tried it yet go ahead and install it. You might like it ;)[/lang_en]

[lang_sv]Jag har under en period försökt att använda Journler 2.5 för att skriva i min blogg utan att lyckas. Varje försök har alltid slutat med följande felmeddelande:[/lang_sv]

[lang_en]I just have to write a few line about a new Mac application that I have played with. I am no big writer but once in a while I need to write some documents and I always get frustrated when I need to reorganize the content of my work. When that happens in a normal wordprocessor you need to cut and paste the text etc.

Enter Scrivener, the virtual writers desktop Write your text as it pops out of your head, split it into several subdocuments, add your research material, reorganize the content by moving notes on a corkboard… This application is almost perfect, it does not interfere with your creativity. It lets you be creative and actually ”assists” you instead of, as many regular applications do, getting in your way when you want to do something. When you are finished with your creation you can export it and open it in your favourite wordprocessor or layout application to do the final touches. Or, if you use it like me (mainly writing readmes and guides) you can simply export it as a RTF(D) text document and you are done.

So, if you have not already checked out Scrivener I really recommend you to do that.[/lang_en]
